The sea squirt doesn't even look real. The squat lobster however, ewwwww.

Did you see the $3700 Conspic angelfish? I got a trio of carberryi anthias from DD a while back; greatest anthias I've ever seen. F&S (LiveAquaria parent) has their divers Den near where i grew up, in Northern Wisconsin; I've visited them when up for a visit. (Liveaquaria fish come from Ca.)I buy almost all my stuff from these guys and think the world of them. Service, price, guarantee, price, etc ; are all great; IMO. What a success story! In the early 1980s, Marty Smith was my vet, then they started mail pet medicine, then bought Pet Warehouse, now Liveaquaria, e-tropicals, all the coral propigation, etc, etc. Everyone should sign up for their daily Divers Den e=mail; stuff you won't see anywhere else.

Uh huh, seen you mention the vet thing before. Someone else posted a link to that angelfish earlier, insane.

Chuckling here Grins I agree with your descriptions, and not something I would buy nor keep in my tanks. Really makes you wonder what lives in the depths of the oceans doesnt it, I love watching some of the documentaries on television about coral fish, and even some of the diving treasure hunters where you get some nice glimpses of fish and coral around the sunken wrecks...

Yeah those guys have an awesome business. I would love to be running something like that, just for the sheer 'coolness' of it. And, btw, DD does has some really neat stuff. Sometimes just a little $$$ though....

I totally disagree with the Squat Lobster. That thing is awesome. Do you have any more info on that one specifically?

 

[Grins]

I am deathly afraid of spiders...and that thing looks like a spider to me. A creepy one. I don't like the Sally or Arrow crabs for the same reason.

HAH... I like the sally crabs but prefer the emeralds. You considered the black version to be 'scary'. The arrow crabs are cool but I haven't found a small enough one to buy. I like to buy things small and watch them grow.
